Episode 5 of 'The White Lotus' season 3 brought a strange brotherly dynamic to viewers' screens as Lochlan Ratliff (Nivola) and Saxon Ratliff (Schwarzenegger) made out
"I just want to be treated with consideration," Amani told her husband and girlfriend after learning Any is not telling her family the whole truth about their relationship
Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro stepped together amid recent dating reports.
Garfield, 41, and Barbaro, 41, were spotted outside a grocery store in Malibu, California, according to photos published on Sunday, March 16, by Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi.
Garfield went incognito, sporting a red baseball cap with a pair of sunglasses as he held onto an iced coffee. Barbaro, also donned a hat as she pushed a grocery cart out of the establishment.
While neither actor has publicly addressed their relationship status, news broke in February that they had started seeing one another. (Us Weekly reached out to Garfield and Barbaro’s reps for comment at the time.)
Garfield and the A Complete Unknown standout were first publicly spotted together at W magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party in January. Weeks later, they were seen watching Jonathan Bailey’s starring turn in Richard III on the West End stage in London.
The We Live in Time star last dated Dr. Kate Tomas, a self-described “professional witch,” for several months in 2024. Tomas announced the breakup in October 2024, noting via Instagram that they called it quits “months ago.”
While Garfield also didn’t address his short-lived romance with Tomas, he has been candid about dating in the public eye.
“How many of those relationships work out?” Garfield said on an October 2024 episode of Chicken Shop Date. “I mean, it’s, like, flash-in-the-pan stuff, usually.”
Throughout his career, Garfield has been romantically linked to stars Shannon Woodward, Susie Abromeit, Aisling Bea, Rita Ora and Alyssa Miller. He also famously dated Emma Stone from 2011 to 2015 after they met on the set of 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
Garfield still remains friendly with Stone, 36, who is now married to Dave McCary.
“We care about each other so much, and that’s a given, that’s kind of this unconditional thing,” Garfield told Vanity Fair in January 2017. “There’s so much love between us and so much respect. … I’m her biggest fan as an artist. So for me, it’s been bliss to be able to watch her success and watch her bloom into the actress that she is.”
Garfield has further gotten a glimpse at the next phase of life when he played a husband and father in 2024’s We Live in Time opposite Florence Pugh. Speaking to Esquire that year, he admitted he was hesitant to become a dad in real life.
“I’m already a tired guy. I don’t want to be a tired dad,” he quipped. “Particularly bringing new life into the context of my life, there’s a heavy burden there.”
Sydney Leroux is taking a step back from soccer for the time being to focus on her mental health.
“This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to say or admit to myself. But after a lot of reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to stay away from soccer for my mental health,” Leroux, 34, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 16. “Anyone who knows me knows I’m a fighter — I always have been. I take pride in pushing through, in showing up, in giving everything I have.
The former United States Women’s National Team member noted that she owes it to herself and her children to “take a step back and take care” of herself. (Leroux is mom to son Cassius, 8, and daughter Roux, 5, whom she shares with ex-husband Dom Dwyer.)
She continued, “I’ve always prided myself on being honest, authentic and true to who I am both on and off the field and this moment is no different. To everyone who has supported me, loved me, and believed in me — thank you. This isn’t goodbye. I will be back, just like always in true Syd fashion.”
Leroux captioned the upload, “Taking a break from soccer to focus on my mental health was a really tough decision but I know it’s the best choice. Also I know some of you can get a little carried away so I wanted to squash the pregnancy rumors right away I’ll be back just like always..”
The Angel City star received a supportive message from her team, who wrote in the comments section of the post, “Your Angel City family is here for you and supports you always .”
Angel City confirmed to ESPN in October 2024 that Leroux signed a three-year contract through 2027 with the team. (Leroux joined Angel City in 2022 after being traded from the Orlando Pride.)
“The older I get, the more my role changes,” Leroux told ESPN at the time. “I feel like I really pushed through this year. I was able to show myself that I can still do this. I was thinking about retiring. And my kids want me to play. I’m doing this for them, and I’m doing this for me. I want to end somewhere that I started, and this is it. My career will definitely end in LA.”
Leroux noted that she’s “really happy” that the team “believes” in her. “I feel like I still have a lot to give,” Leroux said. “Help out wherever I can. I love working with the younger players and that’s been a highlight of this year for me. We have an amazing group.”
“I know I know it’s always something with me,” Teigen, 39, wrote via Instagram Stories on Saturday, March 15, “but I’m sooo happy to not be tethered to this f— BEAST anymore!!!”
The statement was accompanied by a screenshot of a digital notification which said Teigen had been vape-free for “14 days, 22 hours and 31 seconds.”
“I’m just furiously chewing nicotine gum tonight,” Teigen said during an interview with Access Hollywood at the time. “Don’t smoke, smoking is bad, stop now if you can.”
The cookbook author and model explained that she’s been an “on and off smoker for too long” and is finally trying to kick the habit for good.
“I have stopped for the last time. I’m very proud of myself,” she continued. “But I’m also extremely on edge.”
During the same interview, Teigen and her husband, John Legend, joked about being able to have a date night away from their kids. (The couple share four children: Luna, 8, Miles, 6, Esti, 2, and Wren, 20 months.)
After posting about quitting vaping on Saturday, Teigen took to Instagram stories to ask fans to “stop being miserable.”
“Honestly, like, what happened to just thinking things? Remember thinking things?” she said in a video message.
It’s unclear if Tiegen’s video was in reference to herself or a different situation. She went on to reminisce about the pre-internet era, when she said it was common to look “through a magazine” and judge celebrities’ appearances without broadcasting your opinion to the world via social media.
“We all do it, but we used to do it to, like, magazines, and then we spit it out and it would go into the universe and it would disappear,” she said.
While Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings proved to Us that love is real (and blind), they probably wouldn’t have gotten together without the Netflix show.
“I never dated someone younger than me and Daniel never dated someone older than him,” Taylor, 33, said on the Wednesday, March 12, episode of the “What’s the Reality” podcast. “I am, in fact, older than him. So, on dating apps, I don’t know if we ever really would have matched because we had our ranges set at different times or different ages.”
Taylor and Daniel, 30, only have a three-year age gap, but the nurse previously never considered going out with anyone significantly younger than she is.
“Anytime I did try and date someone younger, I was like, ‘This is why I don’t do it,’ ‘cause I was just proved right every time,” Taylor admitted, citing a lack of maturity on their end.
“It was an immediate, like, ‘Ah, I’ll just look for someone my age,’” he said. “You just wouldn’t even give it a chance, so how cool is this type of experiment where that is not the most important thing?”
Taylor and Daniel met — and fell in love — sight unseen on Love Is Blind, which was filmed in Minneapolis in spring 2024 and aired on Netflix one year later. Before Daniel popped the question and they came face-to-face, he and Taylor bonded over shared values and a mutual love of Christmas. Taylor was also intrigued that Daniel didn’t act his age.
“He is far mature,” she gushed to podcast host and fellow LiB alum AD Smith on Wednesday’s episode.
Taylor and Daniel’s romance hit a snag — albeit briefly — when she thought he recognized her when they met in person. Taylor claimed that Daniel had attempted to follow her on social media before the experiment, which he denied. Since then, they were able to move past any drama.
Taylor and Daniel were, ultimately, the only couple to tie the knot during season 8.
“To say that it’s been a wild ride would be quite the understatement,” Daniel said in his wedding vows. “It’s crazy to think that just five weeks ago to the day, I was getting on a knee after our first date. I fell in love with you because … the way that you process things, the way that you think about things, the way that we instantly became best friends, the way that I can see you being plugged into my life as the mother of my children and as my wife for the rest of my life. Like, this is it. I can see it.”
Coming up on their first anniversary, Taylor and Daniel are now looking forward to even more milestones.
“We’ve traveled quite a bit,” Daniel said on the podcast. “I travel a little bit for work, so Taylor was able to tag along with some of that, which was fun.”
Taylor chimed in, adding that their honeymoon in the Bahamas was “amazing” before they bought their first house together back in the Twin Cities.
Colton, the season 23 Bachelor, wrote in his 2020 book, The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV, that he felt betrayed by producers when they called his frontrunner Cassie Randolph’s dad and invited him to Thailand during the final weeks of filming.
“It made me feel like production was working against me and trying to help Cassie break up with me,” he wrote.
During Peter Weber’s season of the show, fans learned that he briefly met Kelley before filming began. While they had a spark, the pilot sent her packing before hometown dates on season 24, which aired in 2020. Kelley later alleged that production prevented her from forming a relationship with Peter.

Victoria opened up about her negative experiences while filming the show via her Instagram Story in 2021, calling it the “worst experience of my life.”
She said at the time, “I hate the producers, truly,” adding that “they’re manipulative and pick and choose ‘story lines.’”
In March 2025, Victoria claimed she was “manipulated” by producers into being the villain on her season of The Bachelor. Victoria, who was accused of bullying her fellow contestants, added that she received “death threats and hate mail every day for two years” as a result of the storyline.
The Bachelorette season 11 winner and Bachelor season 20 winner recorded a podcast together in July 2023, reflecting on their experiences on the show. When they discovered they had the same assigned producer, Lauren claimed the producer started fake crying when she didn’t have a big enough reaction to Ben potentially picking JoJo Fletcher over her.
“I’m calling Todd out right now. … He just started showing emotion and, like, started crying,” she said. “He wasn’t really crying. It put me in this weird place where I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, like, where am I? What am I doing?’ I had this weird realization of, ‘They have an agenda.’ And it’s not bad — his agenda in itself is not bad. He just wants me to open up and show emotion. … He’s trying to, like, bring that out of me.”
Shawn agreed with Lauren and said the producer tried to "trigger" him. He added, “They’ll start playing music on their phone, like, really sad songs and you haven’t heard a song in, like, eight weeks, you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, that feels so good.’”
After she was eliminated by Zach Shallcross on season 27, Christina called out the show for seemingly airing a confessional from week 2 during week 3’s episode.
“Yaaaas!! I LOVED my rose dress from date #1 so much! Thrilled to see it featured in the middle of the group date again in tonights episode!!” she captioned clips from the series via Instagram.
The Bachelor season 25 alum questioned the way editors cut her conversation with Tyler Norris during an October 2022 episode of Bachelor in Paradise. "Just having a friendly conversation with someone I literally never met," she tweeted at the time, implying that she had no intention of flirting with the New Jersey native, who'd established a romance with Brittany Galvin. When a fan commented that the chat with Tyler looked "friendly" and "producers did you dirty" with the edit, Jessenia reposted the tweet, adding: "Nothing but friendly vibes here. That’s just #BachelorInParadise for you."
The Bachelor season 19 alum claimed that producers intentionally placed a black box over her bottom, even though there was nothing to hide. “[The executive producer] was like, ‘Well, your butt’s a little big and sometimes things got a little cheeky, so we had to blur it out. Disney made us,’ which I don’t believe,” she said on the “She’s All Bach” podcast in October 2021. “‘Instead of doing a little blur, we did a giant black bar, really over-exaggerated it,’ and I was just mortified. At that point, you are experiencing a level of humiliation that you thought you could be prepared for, but you really aren’t. I could tell you, I don’t think any contestant understands before going on how bad it’s actually going to be.”
While tuning into an August 2021 episode of Bachelor in Paradise, the season 24 Bachelor alum debunked contestant Chasen Nick's claim that "it doesn't get much better" than being on the BiP beach. "Have you ever heard of paying for your own trip to Mexico and not getting harassed by producers?" she teased in an Instagram Story video.
In an op-ed for New York Magazine, Lindsay detailed her time on Bachelor Nation, explaining that after Vanessa Grimaldi called her a bully and started crying, she lost it on producers.
"When it was over, I stormed out — and of course the producers said, 'Let’s talk about that. Why would you not show emotion?' I lost it in the interview. I was bawling. I tried to explain, 'You do not understand what it is to be a Black woman in this house full of white folks and for a white woman to cry in your face and call you a bully,'" Lindsay wrote in the story published in June 2021. "Did she call any of the other women a bully? No, she picked me. One, because she knew I was a threat — Nick [Viall] liked me the second most. Two, I felt she was projecting an unconscious bias onto me. I said, 'I hope y’all show this in its entirety.' An executive producer pulled me to the side and said, 'This will never air.'"
The Bachelorette season 15 alum tweeted he wanted to “air out” ABC’s “dirty laundry” in January 2021 before making a series of claims about the franchise.
“You gotta understand the game. They get paid off you doing s—t that warrants screen time,” he tweeted about producers. “It’s easy to make a bad person look worse, it’s hard to make a good person look bad.”
Dylan, who met fiance Hannah Godwin on season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise, went on to allege that the producers have “nearly all control” over which contestants receive roses, don’t let cast members sleep “normal hours” and “purposely edit things to warrant bullying.” Dylan also denied that season 15 winner Jed Wyatt “cheated” on Bachelorette Hannah Brown.
“It’s about the other 99% of people who don’t have the same outcome that Hannah and I were lucky to have,” he wrote. “This public figure world is fake, and sometimes it needs to be called out.”
After Dylan’s tweets made headlines, Jed, who was dumped by Hannah shortly after he proposed amid allegations that he had a girlfriend at home, spoke out.
“I was highly manipulated and from it deeply mentally affected from the show, and 2. No, I never cheated. Ever. On [ex-girlfriend] Haley [Stevens] or Hannah,” he said via Instagram in January 2021.
The Bachelorette season 15 villain wasn’t happy with how he was portrayed on Hannah Brown’s season. While his family initially defended him in the media, Luke later appeared on Reality Steve’s podcast in October 2019, months before his contract with NZK Productions Inc. ended. The production company subsequently filed a lawsuit again Luke in May 2020, accusing him of doing unauthorized media appearances. Us confirmed in October 2020 that Luke has been ordered to pay producers $100,000 for violating his contract.
“The first couple of weeks I saw [Peter] look at me differently compared to when we got on our one-on-one and I could tell a hundred percent that like producers were in his head,” Kelley told Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti on the “Almost Famous” podcast in April 2020. “Because on the one-on-one, nothing happened between us but he had this demeanor toward me that was so pissed off and I was looking at him, like, ‘What the hell were you told?’ because nothing happened here for you to have this attitude."
She continued, “And so right then and there, I knew something was going on behind the scenes, and I was like, ‘This is bulls—’. … [I told him], ‘They don’t let me see you. They locked me up in a closet for three hours last week, and they won’t let me see you.’ I said, ‘You clearly know they push some people forward and they don’t push others forward.’”
Despite Kelley’s struggles filming The Bachelor, she and Peter reconnected post-show. They split in December 2020 after eight months of dating. Harrison also revealed she apologized for her remarks.
"She said, 'That was not what I meant to say.' She's like, 'I'm so sorry that it came out that I was locked in a closet,'" he told ET. "So, everybody, it's OK. Kelly was not locked in a closet, she's safe and she's good, and she apologized, and I laughed it off. I was like, 'I get it, I knew what you were trying to say.'"
While the season 13 Bachelor winner was angry with Jason Mesnick for dumping her for runner-up Molly Malaney in 2009, she was just as angry with producers for how they planned out the After the Final Rose taping.
“I was so angry with the whole production. I was like, ‘They all lied to me. They all got me here. They got me dressed up.’ [And] I was furious with him for doing it to me,” Melissa recalled on Us' “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in August 2020. “[Production] put me in that shiny foil, strapless mini dress, they put the ring on my finger and backstage they had me watch the engagement video, which I’d never seen before [because] it hadn’t aired [yet]. They got me all dolled up and all emotional.”
The Bachelorette season 9 contestant shed light on recording the “in the moment (ITM)” interviews in Amy Kaufman’s 2018 book Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure.
"They'd try to get me to talk about something from my childhood, for example, or say something really personal about a family member …” Brooks alleged. “Then try to attach that to what's happening in the world of The Bachelor."
Clare’s journey to becoming the Bachelorette wasn’t smooth. Over the years, she denied that she had sex with Juan Pablo Galavis in the ocean during season 18 and called out the show for editing it to look like she spoke to a raccoon during season 1 of Bachelor in Paradise, but she was seemingly the most upset with production during her brief stint as the season 16 lead.
After Clare met ex-fiancé Dale Moss during the October 2020 premiere, it was clear she only had eyes for the model. As a result, the first two episodes of the season were focused on her relationship with Dale. Clare subsequently “liked” a series of tweets blaming the show for the “Dale-obsessed story line.”
One post read, “People saying that @Clare_Crawley is wasting everyone’s time without realizing that she’s contractually obligated to do so. I would also wager that there are many seasons where the lead talks about their frontrunner just as much, we just don’t see it #BacheloretteABC.”
Clare also blamed the show for the controversial strip dodgeball date.
Colton and Cassie went public with their split in May 2020. He slammed producers again during an August 2020 interview with Reality Steve after Cassie appeared on an episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons Ever! post-split.
“Those people sold her on come and let’s let the audience get to know you, the real Cassie and then you have Chris Harrison, pointing questions, saying, ‘I sense you don’t want to make Colton mad,’ or ‘You’re afraid you’re going to upset Colton,'” he said. “It’s like, ‘No, Chris. I literally talked to her the morning of that interview. We’re good. Stop worrying about me or painting me to be this controlling or angry person.’ I’m not angry. If there’s anybody I’m upset about or upset with it’s you guys.”
The Bachelor in Paradise season 6 contestant claimed producers wouldn’t let her wear her engagement ring with then-fiancé Chris Bukowski during the reunion.
"The producers kept me in a trailer for six hours. Their plans were to bring me on stage alone,” she said on the “Mouthing Off with Olivia Caridi” podcast in September 2020. “I asked for [the ring], and they said no. They brought it out during a time when they felt it was necessary. .. Whenever I get really stressed, I'll also randomly cry. So, Chris Harrison said, 'I see you're not wearing your ring,' And that was a breath of like, if I could only f--king say it … I didn't know how to say that this wasn't my choice."
The OG Bachelorette dished behind-the-scenes scoop of her and now-husband Ryan Sutter’s televised bachelor and bachelorette parties at Le Meridien Resort on the island of Saint Martin in 2003.
“One of the producers left their binder out — like, they forgot their binder somewhere and one of the people who was at the bachelor/bachelorette party picked it up and gave it to us,” she said on the “LadyGang” podcast in November 2020. “It had, like, their characters — the story lines for every person. They had all of our friends who were invited to the bachelor/bachelorette parties, and they had all their bios and probably some stuff that they interviewed about. I think they had titles like … ‘the villain’ or ‘the sweetheart.’ I know that it has been going on since my season, but that’s TV. That’s what they have to do. The editors need to know who these people are and be able to pull certain clips from their ITMs (in-the-moments). It’s a TV show, it’s always going to be a TV show. It’s getting [to be] more of a TV show, I feel like, compared to how it was back in the day.”
The Bachelor in Paradise season 6 contestant took to Twitter after Rachel Lindsay urged Bachelor Nation to stop bullying contestants during Peter’s Women Tell All special in March 2020.
“Loved the message from Rachel last night! Unfortunately messages like that are too common. Frustrating seeing people from BIP and producers act like they didn’t bully me for an entire season,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “Told things like I was a ‘terd that won’t flush,’ ‘ugly’ etc. #practicewhatyoupreach.”
The season 13 Bachelorette was upset with how the show edited her 2017 finale and engagement to now-husband Bryan Abasolo, suggesting the series put too much focus on her split from runner-up Peter Kraus.
“Do you ever recall seeing Bryan profess how excited he was to propose to me? Do you recall seeing me cry about how I was so excited to say yes to Bryan and get my fairytale ending? The answer would be ‘no’ to both of those questions,” she wrote in her season 14 finale blog for Us in 2018. “And it is a shame because both of those things actually happened. You just did not see them. See, you know more about the journey of my breakup than the journey to my proposal acceptance. I think it is fair to say that I was denied my on-camera happy ending. … [Becca] was protected and I was placed on display for three hours and labeled an angry Black female. And there will always be that stigma attached to my finale because it has been said that when truth is blurred by misinformation, perception becomes reality and all is lost.”
Victoria Larson claims she was “manipulated” into being the villain on her season of The Bachelor.
Larson, 32, first appeared on season 25 of The Bachelor in 2021 in an attempt to win the heart of Matt James. In a video shared via TikTok on Friday, March 14, Larson wrote that she was “manipulated into being the villain” for the series “[because] I wanted airtime and to entertain during covid when everything was cancel culture.” Larson added that she “got death threats and hate mail every day for two years” as a result.
In the comments of her video, Larson wrote, “Tbh it hurt that no one stood up for me in the media and had my back, they were more concerned for their images and brand deals, in fact Matt is the only one who spoke up to the truth of how it was.”
Larson had gained notoriety as a villain during her time on The Bachelor and, later, Bachelor in Paradise, likening herself to a goddess or a queen and being accused of bullying by her fellow contestants.
As for Larson, she previously opened up about her negative experiences while filming the show, calling it the “worst experience of my life” via her Instagram Story in 2021.
“However, I try and look with greater perspective,” Larson continued. “There are way more significant issues in the world and mine are minuscule in comparison. Focus on my blessings always. … One of my favorite things is when people recognize me and are purposefully rude to me [because] they think I’m an awful person. It’s almost as great as the online trolls.”
Larson said at the time, “I hate the producers, truly,” adding that “they’re manipulative and pick and choose ‘story lines.’”
In a January 2021 interview with Good Morning America, Larson shared that she didn’t regret her actions on the show.
“Honestly, it was all in good fun,” she said. “If my words or actions hurt anyone, like, I sincerely apologize and I’ll do better and hold myself accountable. I’m not a bully. I’m really not. … [The other contestants] knew me and knew my heart and knew that I really never have ill intent, so I think they viewed it differently just because they know me.”
Larson explained she had “anticipated being well-received” so receiving “the bullying messages and the hate mail and the death threats, [I] wasn’t really prepared for that at all.”
She added, “100 percent, it was shocking. I don’t think my kindness really got to show through and I really do have a good heart. I actually became friends with one of the new girls.”
It’s normal to be in a fashion funk on occasion, but wearing leggings every day, while comfortable, doesn’t exactly help the case. Thankfully, when you want to feel stylish yet relaxed, you don’t have to put on jeans or trousers — instead, reach for these ribbed bottoms that shoppers can’t get enough of.
The Catalina Pull-on Rib Sweater Pant is thatgirl when you’re looking for comfortable bottoms that work for any occasion, be it traveling, working from home or having a lazy Sunday. They make an excellent substitute when you’re tired of tossing on leggings. The pants have a soft ribbed fabric and thicker weight so they’re not see-through, but een though the materials are heavier, shoppers report the bottoms are lightweight enough to wear on warmer days. The best part is that these pants will not wrinkle when you pack them away in your luggage.
The shape of these sweater pants is also a plus — they’re relaxed throughout the hips and booty before transitioning to a flared leg. The combination of materials and playful details ensure these bottoms are stylish and able to be paired with sneakers or sandals for any season. Another part of their appeal is the various colorways they come in: Shoppers can choose from 8 shades ranging from black to a dusty purple hue. They’re also available in sizes XXS to 5X.
The pants have glowing reviews from Amazon shoppers of all body types.
“If you are looking for a comfy but elevated pant that you can wear out of the house, these are it!” a five-star reviewer said. “I have them in grey, black and brown and wear them more than any of my other pants!! I have washed them several times (hang dry), and they hold up so well. Definitely worth the price.”
“Comfy and make your booty look good, another shared. “So comfortable! I wouldn’t wear these out but these are perfect lounge pants! They haven’t pilled after a few washes, and I’ve received compliments from my boyfriend that they make my booty look good!”
An additional shopper noted that the “size fits right, perfect for traveling or everyday errands. The waistband and stretching and I haven’t had issues with it folding over. Can be dressed up or down.”
Head to Amazon and snag a pair of these perfect pants. We won’t blame you if you stock up on nearly every size and color.
Former Bachelor Jason Mesnick and his wife, Molly Mesnick, are celebrating their daughter’s latest milestone.
“ 12 . Today is her big day and she deserves every ounce of celebration!!” Molly, 41, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 14. “In the last year, Riley has matured into the most special young lady, beyond my wildest dreams! She is conquering middle school, making so many amazing new friendships, getting all A’s, trying new things (volleyball starts Monday ) and is just overall so so happy!”
Alongside the sweet message, Molly shared a carousel of photos from Riley’s birthday party earlier this month. In one image, Riley concentrated on blowing out her birthday candle atop a cake as her friends watched.
“This year has been the best transition for her and it has been so much fun watching her grow and flourish! Happy happy bday my sweet girl! ,” Molly wrote, adding that Riley’s nails in the photos are real.
Jason, for his part, gushed over his daughter in a separate post alongside a series of throwback photos of Riley through the years. In one pic, Riley posed with brother Ty, now 20, at a playground. (Jason welcomed son Ty with ex-wife Hilary Buckholz-Monrean, to whom he was married to for four years until 2007.)
“Happy 12th Birthday, Riley! . Twelve years ago, the world got way cooler because YOU arrived! Now you’re officially 12, which means you’re 3.14159 times more awesome than last year (math doesn’t lie ),” Jason, 48, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 15.
He continued, “You’re smart, kind, and full of so much joy — I couldn’t be prouder to be your dad. Love you more than all the pie in the world (and that’s saying a LOT)! . Hope your day is as sweet and fun as you are, Riley! Let’s celebrate YOU! #HappyBirthdayRiley #PiDayBaby #InfiniteAwesomeness #12YearsOfFun.”
Bachelor Nation met Jason when he appeared on DeAnna Pappas’ season 4 of The Bachelorette in 2008. He went on to star as the lead of The Bachelor season 13, where he ultimately chose Melissa Rycroft before splitting from her during the taping of the After the Final Rose special and pursuing a romance with his runner-up, Molly. The pair tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed daughter Riley three years later.
While celebrating the couple’s 15th anniversary last month, Molly shared a sweet social media tribute to Jason.
“We are ships, passing in the night, these days … at 6am we didn’t think it would even be possible for us to have dinner together tonight (that’s 15 years of marriage for ya ) BUT … we made it happen and I’m so glad because I love EVERY minute with this man,” Molly wrote via Instagram.
She continued, “@jasonmesnick is the real hero for putting up with my crazy day in and day out. He is my calm, my voice of reason and my safe place. On top of that, there is no question he is the most amazing dad. Thank you for being you, Jason Mesnick. There is not a single person I would rather do life with! I love you!”

Former NFL coach Bill Belichick proved that he’s a young and spry 72 as he helped his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, with some beachside yoga.
“ #SpringBreak #UsTime #StillGotIt ,” Hudson, 24, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 15, sharing images of the couple in Jupiter Beach, Florida.
During the beach excursion, Hudson turned to Belichick, 72, for assistance as she attempted a handful of acrobatic yoga poses. For one, Belichick laid on his back, extending his feet up into the hair. Hudson, for her part, laid atop his parallel feet as they held hands. During a second pose, she lifted her arms back behind her shoulders to mimic a “Superman” position.
“That’s a 6x Super Bowl champion,” one social media user wrote of Belichick in the comments section.
Another added, “You got coach doing anything. Love this sista!”
A third fan, meanwhile, replied, “He is enjoying life with you!”
Hudson, a former cheerleader, and Belichick have been together since October 2024. They initially met three years earlier during a commercial airline flight while Hudson was still in college. Hudson and Belichick later made their red carpet debut at the American Museum of Natural History’s annual gala in December 2024.

“The evening was saturated with all of my favorite things: friendship, education, philanthropy, glamour, beet salad, Billy, dance-worthy music, ornithological & oceanic exhibits,” Hudson gushed via Instagram at the time. “We created so many great memories together while supporting a great cause; my heart is filled to the brim!!!”
Hudson also followed Belichick when he relocated to North Carolina to coach the UNC Tarheels football team.
While Belichick and Hudson have seemingly never been happier, their age gap has raised eyebrows among outsiders and online commentators. Hudson, meanwhile, hasn’t been one to shy away from clapping back at any internet haters.
“Let’s take a deeper dive into the hot topic of the day: LOVE’… ‘What constitutes love?’ or ‘What makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that require a deep analysis and could possibly enable one to understand the romances that they may not understand nor relate to,” Hudson wrote via Instagram last month. “With such a limited character count.”

She added, “The ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation. Love does not discriminate against sex, skin color, religion, age or ability. Love does not fluctuate along with someone’s body weight. Love does not lie within a perfect complexion. Love is not as deep as one’s pockets. Love does not look the same every time you see it.”
Hudson further noted at the time that it’s “never OK to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love.”
For Sister Wives star Maddie Brown, it doesn’t get any better than baby snuggles.
On Sunday, March 16, Maddie shared her first public postpartum pic via her Instagram Story, featuring herself and her new baby, Emilia Estelle Brush.
“Nothing better than the sweet baby snuggles,” Maddie, 28, wrote over the photo,
Maddie welcomed her fourth daughter, Emilia, on Friday, March 14. “Absolutely worth the wait, Miss Emilia Estelle Brush has finally made her grand entrance!” she wrote via Instagram, alongside a photo of the newborn.
“Our sweet girl took her time, keeping us all in suspense, but when she decided it was time — she didn’t waste a second,” Maddie’s caption continued. “Born on 3/14, she arrived absolutely perfect. We are completely smitten with our newest little love.”
Maddie and Caleb Brush are also parents to children Axel, 7, Evie, 5, and Josephine, 2.
The pair announced their engagement in September 2015. “Happy to share this with you guys,” Maddie tweeted at the time, alongside a link announcing her engagement news. She also shared some details about what to expect from her upcoming nuptials. “I showed Caleb the song I have wanted to walk down the [aisle] to since I was 15,” she continued. “He got a little emotional when hearing it. So sweet!!”
On Saturday, March 15, Maddie shared that she and Caleb named the newest addition to the family after her late brother, Garrison Brown. A fan wrote online that “I love her name, especially Estelle. Is it like a tribute to Garrison since Estelle means Star in Latin.”

Maddie confirmed the name was intentional. “That is exactly what it is,” the mother of four wrote back.
Garrison died by suicide in March 2024. His parents Kody Brown and Janelle Brown announced his death on March 5. Us Weekly confirmed that police arrived at Garrison’s home in Flagstaff, Arizona and discovered him dead at the scene.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody, 55, wrote via Instagram at the time. “He was such a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
Following his unexpected death, Garrison’s close friend Kenia Gutierrez reflected on his “shocking” passing.
“I did not expect it. … He was always a person you wanted to see, and he’d always say hello to you. His presence was being gracious,” she told Us on March 7. Gutierrez added that “everything was normal” in the days leading up to Garrison’s death. “He was always happy. What happened was shocking.”
